Pamela’s Book Spot

I loved this book so much! If you haven't read it yet, you should definitely get your hands on a copy. I cannot wait for the sequels and am going to have trouble waiting for them to come out!! Here is the book description from Amazon .... Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl. . . .  Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg.
